What Is a Staking Pool?
A staking pool is a predefined product with a set APY rate, lock period, and minimum stake amount. XamanProtocol offers multiple pools to cater to different risk tolerances and investment horizons.
Flexible Pool
- Lock Period: None — withdraw anytime
- APY: Lower (~5%), may vary
- Best For: Users who need liquidity or are new to staking
- Minimum: 10 XRP
The flexible pool offers the lowest APY but the greatest flexibility. You can unstake at any time without penalty. The trade-off is a lower return.
7-Day Locked Pool
- Lock Period: 7 days
- APY: ~7%
- Best For: Short-term commitment for higher yield
- Minimum: 50 XRP
A short lock period for users comfortable committing funds for one week in exchange for a better rate.
30-Day Locked Pool
- Lock Period: 30 days
- APY: ~10%
- Best For: Medium-term holders seeking strong yields
- Minimum: 100 XRP
A popular choice offering significantly higher APY than flexible pools with a moderate 30-day commitment.
90-Day Locked Pool
- Lock Period: 90 days
- APY: ~14%
- Best For: Long-term holders maximizing yield
- Minimum: 200 XRP
The highest APY available, for users who can commit their funds for 3 months.
Choosing the Right Pool
Consider:
- Do you need access to your funds? → Choose Flexible
- Can you commit for 7–90 days? → Choose a locked pool for higher APY
- How much are you staking? → Check minimums
- What is your market outlook? → If you expect prices to drop significantly, flexible allows you to exit. If you're bullish long-term, locking in APY maximizes returns.
